Abbott, who is skilled in maintaining the Swiss accent, creates a very human Maria, with all the richness that word entails. She is sympathetic, but flawed; intelligent, but glaringly ignorant; driven, but compromised. She is a collection of contradictions which is part of what makes her so very interesting and compelling. - Bridgett M. Redman
